From the Far Niente winery. Tasted their new ‘19 offering twice. Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruit, floral, spice and citrus. On the palate apple, melon and pear flavors, with lemon zest, vanilla and toasty notes. Nice balance with bright acidity on long finish, savory with spicy rich oaky mineral ending, very nice!

This wine offers tight lemon oil, apple and toffee notes now, and the promise of generosity and layered complexity with time in bottle.

Was worth a try for the producer and price. Not my style. Lots of apple and not refined. Tasted like a $12 everyday Chard if that. Plenty of depth but just not high quality.

Very balanced, some silkiness. Not any very prominent flavor so difficult to describe other than balanced. Citrus and mineral finish with some oak.
